Kirby on Biden Revoking the Terror Designation of the Houthis: ‘We’re Looking at that Real Hard’

SIDNER: “We — we do have to ask this, because in February of 2021, Secretary Blinken actually revoked the terror designation of the Hutus saying in a statement —“
KIRBY: “Yeah.”
SIDNER: “— that the decision was a recognition of the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen at the time. What do you make of this decision, and does it need to be reconsidered?”
KIRBY: “Humanitarian situation, which is not completely alleviated, obviously. So what I will tell you is that we’re reviewing that designation right now. We haven’t made a decision about whether we’re going to revoke it or not, or change it again, or not — or not, but I can tell you, we’re looking at that real hard. Again, the Houthis have a decision to make, and they need to make the right one now, certainly in the wake of the strikes last night.”
